first officially weighed tomato at mitchells meat market weighed by a dart league competitor known as surly bob the butcher. cranky old dude still drinking beers and throwing competitive darts at 65 years old. so this one is the benchmark officially posted entry into the bobbys tap giant tomato contest. next year one of our weighoff sponsors is going to run a chicagoland giant tomato contest with hopefully in conjunction with the joliet herald. prizemoney for largest megabloom and another separate catagory for largest single tomatoes. we are hoping to get things going around this area for competitive gardening hoping some also try the pumpkins too. it should be fun. joe from midwest hydroganics is a very good dude trying his hand in a late start at the giant pumpkins.he has the drive and all the killer products from his store to be a serious contender in the not to distance future. i use his products for my tomatoes and pumpkins.
